I think this is the info you're looking for : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776881(VS.85).aspx

I wondered why I didn't find any .NET walkthrough for that and here's an explanation : http://blogs.msdn.com/junfeng/archive/2005/11/18/494572.aspx

If the info is right, you expose yourself to a some problems unless you write the thing in C++ or some scripting language...

there are two ways. One, you associate your app with a file type by writing a registry entry, your app is set to be called with command line args so it can detect what was clicked on

Or you can as Stonkie suggests, write a DLL that windows will ask "do you handle this type of file? if so, what are your menu entries because the user is right clicking" and thats a lot harder

You can also possibly use a utlitity called Mmm
